The problem I have with either the exit program or compiler flags...

Is that I'd imagine most shops are like ours. I may not allow new line
code that uses a GOTO, but I'm not going to force existing ones to be
removed just because the developer is in there changing some other line.

Sure, I'd like too...but that's just not going to happen.

Our standards review is done base upon the output of of DIFF when code is
checked into SVN.

AFAIK, it's a manual review...It'd be nice for a SVN/GIT module that your
could configure to flag certain things.

Scott's approach works for me and certainly would reduce the amount of
work IBM needs to do - in theory at least.

Maybe the thing IBM should do is add an exit point. During compile, the

RPG compiler could call any registered exit programs and pass the opcodes
to it while checking the source.

Customers like us could then write code to enforce rules like "never use

CABEQ" or "never use MOVE" or "no gotos allowed" or whatever a shop wants
to do.

What are the chances we could get IBM / Barbara to get the compiler to

puke

on any of the CAB* opcodes?
